Key Signs Your Firm is Ready for AI
Not sure if you want to fill out the quiz yet? Here’s a quick look at some of the major indicators that your practice is ready to embrace AI and automation:
You have clean, consistent data. Good data hygiene is essential because AI can only deliver accurate insights if the information it’s trained on is reliable.
Your team is open to change. AI works best when your people are curious, engaged, and ready to adopt new ways of working.
You already use digital tools. If you’re using cloud accounting software, workflow systems, or automation tools, you’ve already taken key first steps.
You understand your processes. Knowing what can be automated and what requires human input helps you apply AI effectively.
You view AI as an enhancer, not a replacement. The firms seeing the best results are using AI to strengthen, not replace, their people.
If you tick most of these boxes, you might be ready to take the next step. If not, don’t worry, our quiz results include tailored steps to help get your firm prepared for AI success.
